Speech Deraneement.

There are several forms Of speech.
arrangement, caused by . paralysis Of
q portion of the brain-the speech cen.
tres. They are known by the general
term aphasia, which means simply
speechlessness. The Medical Record
has an interesting paper on the subject.
to which we would refer those who
care to study the scientific explanation
of the matter. We give some Of the
prominent facts:
There are three forms of aphasia: (l)
the sensory, in which the printed words
are clear enough to the eye, but con.
yey no impression to the brain (2) the
motor, in which the patient can read
and understand tho printed words, but
cannot utter them, uttering instead
unintelligible sounds; (S) the sensory
and the motor variously mixed.
The following case illustrates the
first form. A cultivated woman, being
taken with severe pain above the left
temple, was surprised next morning to
find herself unable to read word. al
though she plainly saw the letters and
words, and every object in her room.
The largest letters, the heading of the
daily papers, were as unacceptable as
the smallest. In about two weeks she
began to recover. and could read again
with tolerable facility in about three
months, This was case of word-blind-
ness.
A Somewhat similar case of word
deafness is reported. A ell-educated
gentleman, who fully understood what
he read, was nevertheless able to utter
only gibberish. Thus the sentence,
.sThe Odessa line is again working
PROPERLY" he read, 1.-THE assoil lens
a puff niff miss CORES povety."
The second, or motor aphasia, is the
more common form. In this the per-
son may fully understand all that is
said to him, and yet be unable to speak
even if he seeks to express his mean
ing by gestures, he makes the wrong
movements.
In the mixed forms, the patient in
some cases, cannot speak the words.
and yet can write them; in others, he
can write. and yet is unable to read
his own writing. The power of speech
is, in general, however, left unimpair-
ed.
Allied to aphasia is so called para
phas;a. In this disorder, the patient,
thinking to use particular word, uses
one not having the slightest resem-
blance to it. Sometimes he loses a
whole class of words, most commonly
nouns. and is forced to supply Their
place by description, as "what one
cuts WITH" for scissors, or for swim
dow" ''what one sees through. ~

Dry Goods Packing Boxes,

Space is SO valuable to New York
merchants, and particularly those en-
gagged in the dry-goods trade. that they
prefer purchasing the packing boxes
in which they send off their goods to
making them upon their own premises.
To manufacture sufficient number
for their daily need would require con-
siderable room, and the rent for such
accommodations would more than off
set the amount saved. Therefore they
purchase them from men who make
the sale of such boxes a specially.
Their places of business are to be seen
in all quarters. Generally they choose
some piece of property which through
litigation or other causes has not been
built upon, where the rent is trivial
and the lease of short date, and buy UP
all the old boxes they can lay hold OF.
These they patch up and sell at a con-
siderable advance. There are others
in the business, however. who are in
the true sense of the word. manufac-
turers. Some of them conduct safe
and profitable business upon q small
scale, while others launch thousands
OF ooilars IN the enterprise. These
latter are mostly men residing in Mich
igan; who buy lumber by the whole
sale. They have saw mills of their
own. in which they manufacture the
parts OF box complete, according to
careful measurement. The different
portions are numbered and sent to east
ern shippers. who have only to nail
them together according to directions
to have a perfect packing box. Such
boxes can be produced at remarkably
low prices. and the dealers in this city
cannot successfully compete with their
western rivals. In fact, the business

What Befell Beautiful Mexican
Bride.
One of the prettest girls of Zaca-
tecas, belonging to one of the best
families in the state, has just been adj
mitted to the insane asylum in that
city. hopeless maniac. The Story OF
the trouble which wrecked her for a
season is one of the saddest that has
ever been written. Born the daughter
of wealthy parents, an only child. sine
was INDUCED in everything, and in
consequence her naturally sweet dis
position was thoroughly spoiled, and
whenever an attempt was made to
cross her wishes she had the most
frightful outbursts of temper, which
always ended in all around her Welding
and allowing her to carry her point.
On the 4th of March OF the present
year she was married to wealthy
hacendado whose extensive place is
located near Zacatccas. The wedding
was grand affair, and the Young
couple started life together with the
brightest prospects. Soon after marri-
age, however, there arose slight dis
putes between hus band and wife, which
ended, as has been the case all through
the girls life. in her favor, the hus-
band, naturally highsprited man.
yielding invariably before her awful
fits of violence. This, finally. however,
became unbearable to the young mar
ried man and he determined to break
bis wife's frightful temper and assert
his manhood, trusting that they would
live moro happily together in the end
So upon the next occasion when there
arose difference of opinion on some
trifling matter he remained firm and
utterly refused to yield his point. His
wife stormed and flew into q perfect
rage of passion, but he remained I'M
moved, and finally, when the exhibi-
ton of temper was assuming phase
where the young woman commenced
breaking tho breakfast dishes-thcy
were at their morning meal when the
trouble arose-in the impotency of her
wrath, he clutched her tightly by the
arm. and in rough tone insisted that
she should quiet down. She gave him
one awful look, then with wild shrek.
she tore herself from his grip and
moving away a few steps fell to the
ground foaming at the mouth. Medical
aid was at once summoned. but for
hours she lay unconscious. occa-
sionally struggling violently, and then
relapsing into quietness again, After
while she opened her eyes, took a
long look around upon the people
gathered about her bed, and with a
bloodcurdling shrek sprang from the
bed, and before any one could prevent
her was out of the house and racing
madly over the fields. All present

ing run the mad woman was overtaken
by her husband, and held fast until as
sstance arrived. The best medical
aid procurable was obtained for her,
but her reason remained in darkness
and. the physicians predict there is
positively no hope for her recovery

A Very Sacred Oath.

They have no Bible in the French
courts to swear on, and the crucifix
which was used for that purpose has
been removed. But now and then
witness needs to swear by something.
as in judicial examination at Maur-
settles lately of a man accused of mnr-
der. A cab-driver was asked if he
could swear to certain testimony he
had given. He raised his hand in a
tragic manner toward Heaven, and ex-
claimed, in stentorian tone: II swear

One Of the most unreasonable and
best patronized humbugs of the day is
what is known as Christian science, or
mind cure. 1t prctends to cure human
diseases after the apostolic fashion,
which it claims was not miraculus,
but simply the successful exertion OF
mind upon matter.
Its teachers, or practitionists, argue
that in olden times devout Christians
were able to cure disease by the exer-
else of faith and will power. and that
there is no good reason why such
people may not do the same thing
now. Their plan OF operation is to
i'm press upon the mind of the patient
his ability to receive such a cure, and
the power of the operator to bestow it.
and then induce him to act upon his
faith. For instance. lady is afflicted
with heart disease. The physician and
the patient unite in determination
that the disease shall depart. they con-
centrate the full power of their minds
in an intense effort to believe that the
disease can and will be-nay, is driven
out. and as result the lady is no
longer afflicted The absurdity of the
method, however, is readily demon
strated by applying it to strong cases.
For instance, if man should have his
hand mashed to a jelly, or his foot
lacerated, OF his skull fractured, there is
no sensible person will imagine these
injuries could be instantly healed by
will power or any other human agency.
There are some cases where people
are afflicted with imaginary complaints,
caused by a diseased state of the mind,
and such ailments, it is not unreason-
able to suppose, may be removed by
merely mental process. Existing
simply in the Imagination, it is only
necessary to convince the sufferer that
they are gone and he is cured. But
where there is in actual, unmis-
taxable physical aftliction, concentra-
ton of all the will power and faith in
the universe could not perform a cure
without the application OF material,
tangible remedies and treatment As
a cheerful disposit on is conducive to a
healthy state of the body. it no doubt
aids cure of the patient to be hope
full and contented; but such aid is COM
paratively feeble, and could not effect
. cure of itself.
The case which recently occurred at
Tokepa. wherein woman was permit
ted to die through the ministrations of
one OF these scientific quacks is to the
point. She was afflicted in the lower
limbs with some disease. and was de-
pending on Il so-called Christian science
doctor. who was in attendance. to cure
her, No remedies were used but men,
tai ones, and the disease was allowed
to progress to such point that morti-
fication set in and death resulted.
However nice theory may be built
upon consideration of the powers of
Christian faith. the days of miracles are
past. and no amount of human ingenui-
ty or science can resurrcct them. That
fact cannot be shaken. All pretended
faith, or will, or word cures of positive
bodily ills are humbugs, and those who
practice upon the credulity of the peo-
pie TO rob them of their money by such
means are impostors and swindlers.
There is 10 such thing as mind cure or
Christian science. Repubi-
